The Dog Who Lost His Bark

Two former Irish Laureates meet in this tail-wagging illustrated story about a boy, a dog and the healing power of friendship. Patrick has been desperate for a dog of his own for a long as he can remember. And this summer, with his father away, he’s longing for a buddy more than ever. In his short doggy life, Oz has suffered at the hands of BAD PEOPLE. Yet somewhere out there, he believes, is an AWESOME BOY. His BOY. And maybe when they find each other, he will learn to BARK again…
